Christmas festivities got off to a good start in Reigate on Saturday.  As well as festive events taking place throughout the day in the town, a firework display was organised by Reigate on Ice and the Matthews Organisation, and sponsored by London Gatwick Airport.

Shane Richie and his Band gave a free performance in Priory Park following the fireworks. Susy Radio’s Neil Munday spoke to Shane Richie who revealed news about a new drama for his EastEnders character, Alfie Moon.
